Still The Best Flashmob of All (Ode to Joy)

[Midpack]

At least IMO. I would love to stumble onto something like this, magical - as you can see in the faces in the crowd young and old. Yes, I've posted this here before every so often. There are others greats if you're inclined to share your favorite(s).

 

[SecondCor521]

Agree. And Beethoven was deaf when he wrote it.

Lovely!

 

[PaunchyPirate]

Brings tears to my eyes!

 

[Major Tom]

Very moving - and in a public space, for all to enjoy. Wonderful!
